i'd done the same last week and experienced the same problem. Actually I think it were cause of different configs. (I hacked many of them and rebuild em... at least I worked a long time to get it working) The main fact, why it won't work on my server was that the /etc/pam.d/imap file didn't contained the right values. So i'd changed it to: <snip> auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth </snip> My system is working with that configuration. I use saslauthd as authentication program wich refers to pam wich authenticate the user over a mysql db with authdaemond. At least try it with my pam configuration and if it wont work i can send ya my whole configs. Many greetings from Germany, Frederic Jaeckel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
